What is family dentistry?
Family dentistry focuses on helping you have healthy teeth and gums at every stage of life. Many family dentistry patients at Brooklyn City Dental first came to the practice years ago, and they continue to see the same reliable and caring team throughout their lives.
What does family dentistry include?
Family dentistry is comprehensive dental care. Much like your family physician takes care of all your general medical needs, your family dentist is your go-to provider for all oral health care.
The family dentistry providers at Brooklyn City Dental offer services including:
- Dental cleanings
- Dental exams
- Fillings
- Crowns and bridges
- Gum disease treatment
- Dentures
- Mouth guards
Along with all these family dentistry services, the dental team also covers cosmetic dentistry needs such as veneers and Invisalign® teeth straightening.
If you need specialized treatment, such as oral surgery, the team also offers root canals, endodontic retreatment, dental implants, and other advanced procedures.
Brooklyn City Dental is a family dentistry practice that offers genuinely all-encompassing oral health care.
How often should I see my family dentistry provider?
If you have good oral health, you should see the family dentistry team for exams and cleanings every six months. If you have a history of oral health issues or are experiencing new dental problems, you might need to visit the office more often to maintain your dental wellness.
How long does a standard dental appointment take?
Your first appointment, which includes a thorough dental cleaning and oral exam, will take around an hour. If the team discovers oral health issues that require immediate attention, it could take longer.
How often should I brush and floss between appointments?
The American Dental Association recommends twice-daily brushing utilizing two-minute sessions. Angle your toothbrush at 45 degrees and use gentle back-and-forth strokes to cover the entire surface of every tooth. Don't forget to floss at least once a day, too.
Regular brushing and flossing is the most effective way to prevent plaque and tartar growth on your teeth, which helps you avoid cavities, root canals, and other dental work in the future.
Depending on your needs, the team may also recommend special fluoride treatments or sealants to keep your teeth clean and healthy between your family dentistry appointments.
